It is unbelievable that City fans would criticize people trying to get SISU to piss off and stop killing our club.
There's a horrible side to City's support that is so pessimistic and bitter that they spend their time ridiculing their own club and almost enjoy being able to say "i told you so" when things go wrong.

I compliment Gary on arranging coach trips to the game and that's a good thing.
My original point was specific to SOC. You form 'groups' like this to try and have a say on how you think the club should be representing itself. Firstly who are you and what qualifies you to make such suggestion and secondly please don't do say in the name of the majority of supporters - unless of course more than 10,000 come to your meetings!
There is no better way of disapproving with the football club than by staying away? people have the greatest option of all to vote their 'opinion' with their feet.
I just find some of the posters on here absolutely unbelieveable. 99% of supporters want SISU out, and when people try and do something to get them out - giving EVERYONE an opportunity to have their say - they are targeted with abuse and snide comments.
Yes, people have differing views and opinions on things, but I havent seen anyone else make a real effort to get fans together and do something different. Instead its best just to slag people off and do fuck all.
Fans that stay away, are having their say, and who can blame people not wanting to pay through the nose for a shit product when its hard enough paying a mortgage and keeping food on the table? Theyre not disloyal, theyve had years and years and years of dross.
Would have thought living in a city that was totally destroyed in the war would have meant a little extra spirit from the inhabitants......
So hats off to all those that have made an effort to make a difference.

well, to chip into this, I am doing NOTHING !!
We are in an entertainment business, like it or not. Its supply and demand. If no-one went, they would have to rethink, even if we went under and started at the Memorial park, I would then return and enjoy it again...
I havent been to the ricoh for 18 months and will not set foot inside it until they are gone. Away games only for me !
They are quite simply not getting 1p off me.

Criticise the man all you want, he's got 4 extra coaches' worth of fans to follow the City to an away match-and when a lot of us are agreeing it's an important time to be backing the team and showing support, here some people are putting the guy down when he's done exactly that. Unbelievable.

A final word on this. I do not criticise gary's efforts and the extra coaches and fans he has drummed up to support the City. genuniely fantastic!
My criticism is of the organisation known as SOC.
Also everyone assumes we 'ALL' want SISU gone? May I just say while I dislike how they have operated and what has become of our proud club I can not 100% hand on heart say they should go. Simple reason is we have no other alternative. We need to find it in ourselves to support their current efforts (after making such a mess of it) in turning it around. Simply blindly taking the stance they should go won't help. How I hope we can get some new investors but while we wait for the dream ticket to happen think we should stop the divisive action (such as SOC) and simply support the club.
Lost my respect when you changed tack to a SISU out only platform, that is just mindless.
There has to be a clear sucession strategy. I want them out too, but even more than that I want the debts cleared and good owners to take over. If it takes 5 years of SISU pain to get the club in the black, so be it!
